We will look back at this moment in our history and wonder how we let it happen.

  What can we do, in addition to what we're already doing? For example, in Norway, the recently elected leading coalition is (mostly) very vocal about ending the genocide. And the sovereign oil fund just divested out of quite a lot of the genocide-profiteers (including Caterpillar, who sell displacement-as-a-service, leading to threats of more tariffs from the US). And there are flotillas of activists trying again and again to sail with aid towards the Gaza strip, getting themselves attacked by drones (even in Tunisian waters, long before reaching Gaza). We donate to savethechildren etc. but most of the aid isn't even allowed in. This is not a case of "we've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas". The enemies of humanity, decency and righteousness are just so overwhelmingly strong.

    you could for example send international force in order to deal with hamas occupation of gaza in a "civilized way, the one that Israel doesn't know how to execute", rescue hostages and to distribute aid to civilians. but I guess it's easier to just issue proclamations that Israel doesn't do things right. and make "recognition of state of palestine without hamas". where exactly hamas going to go ? evaporate ?
